- 2009–2014
- Symptoms
- Chain noise at high mileage, hesitation or loss of power from a clogged fuel filter, turbo whistle and a worn clutch when towing; on automatics, harsh shifts.
- Possible cause described
- The guide recommends replacing the chain at around 100,000 km to stop it breaking. The fuel filter often clogs and the clutch wears out before 60,000 km when towing. On the automatic, changing and flushing the oil helps.
- Check for the garage
- Listen to the chain when cold, change the fuel filter on time and test the clutch under load; on automatics, check the gearbox oil.
